Not often I disagree with my buddy Brent but I will on this point. Dilution of the race to pavement does nothing to retain the greatness that is/was the Hoosier Hundred. Someone remind me when we last ran the Hut Hundred. It still lives as a pinnacle midget race even if it’s never run again. If they took it to Anderson and ran a 100 lap race and called it the same, it would be equally illegitimate. I was always irritated when they ran Turkey Night on pavement. And besides the surface, especially when it comes to big cars, it’s not nearly the same level of competition. You could almost say pavement racing these days should be a club sport as less than a handful have a shot to win. That’s not the same on dirt. Call it what you want, but the Hoosier Hundred is a dirt race. Maybe it will fade away with us old guy’s, but it will will die with it’s deserved reverence
